Troubleshooting a Frozen POCO M8 Pro 5G

  • 💡 If your POCO M8 Pro 5G screen is frozen and the touch screen is unresponsive, a force restart can help.
  • ⚠️ This process is designed to recover a frozen UI without causing any data loss.

Performing the Force Restart

  • ⚡ To initiate a force restart, press and hold both the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously.
  • ⬛ Continue holding both buttons until the screen turns completely black.
  • ⏱️ Once the screen is black, release both buttons and wait approximately 5 seconds.

Booting the Device After Restart

  • 🚀 After the brief wait, press and hold only the Power button to turn the device back on.
  • 🚩 If you accidentally enter Fastboot mode, repeat the process of pressing and holding Power + Volume Down together until the screen is black, then press and hold only the Power button to boot normally.
  • ✅ When the POCO logo appears, the device is starting up correctly, and you can wait for the system to load.
